Hi there! So, continuing on with framed displays, I thought I’d quickly share with you how I display my kids’ handprints which were set in clay: they’re mounted in shadowbox frames. I love how these little prints are family treasures, but on display like this, they look great anywhere and fit into the decor of even the more formal rooms … Continue reading
Here’s a quick post about some easy, inexpensive art that can go in any number of spaces depending on the colours and patterns you choose. (And yes, we spell “colors” with a “u” in Canada 😉 ).
